This podcast is so good. I love how it takes inspiration from the format of some of the great podcasts before it and uses it to tell exceptional stories about people in the Adventist community. May it become the standard that we hold other SDA shows to.
I come from listening to Dear Church and have enjoyed this podcast as well! I enjoy hearing about people and how they are involved in the church. I think it is so important to listen to peoples experiences (good or bad) and that keeps Christians relatable!! Keep the stories coming !!!
Incredible storytelling, honoring the teachers and pastors who are raising up the next generation in faith and calling up the next group of people called to serve in the same way. Thank you, Aren!

My Sunday evenings are now deeply meaningful.
